Reading OBD2 Live Data

I see you have your vehicle in "on" position. My instructions on my amtifo do not say to turn the vehicle on. Just to plug it into the obd inlet. My engine light went on and I'm about to use this obdII meter they gave me for the first time.

Awesome video!!!!!! I have
shortft1% 18.0
Longft1% 0.0
Shortft2% -25
Longft2% 0.0 how's that possible?

Thanks for doing these videos. Was wondering is there a booklet or sheets available that would explain what you just talked about here? I would really like to learn what these data stream measures mean and what the ranges should be on a car to attempt a diagnostic and not just jumping on codes and changing out parts. Again, thanks so much for your channel.

The cheaper scan tools don't tell enough. A good one can keep you from having to run voltage tests. I have some cheaper testing equipment. I just need to order a better scanner. But the one's that people who call themselves mechanics... but misdiagnose regularly..not naming any names.. aren't worth buying. And then you'll have to have enough on the ball to actually read the data. Just because it says one thing doesn't mean it's that thing but it is a good place to start. Most people aren't going to be comfortable reading this data and that's why they should be going to reputable mechanics who make their living diagnosing and fixing..not necessarily the ones who make their living with YT videos.. and website tech writers who obviously copied and pasted and probably never turned a wrench in their life...whose real income is moving drugs.

Hello, great video! I was wondering the correct procedure for getting the live data. I have a Motopower mp69033 scanner. My understanding is, insert it to dlc, then turn car on to read dtc codes then while still connected, turn the engine on and running to stream the live data while car is warmed up. I’m worried about damaging anything while starting the engine with the scanner connected, thank you!

Love the vid. Got subbed. Thanks

Great video. The info was clear and well covered. Much appreciated

Just fantastic. Thank you 👌🏾

Where do you find the ranges for PIDs? I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze 1.4 and I am having trouble finding my vehicle's specific ranges. Any help in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Does your car not have a fuel rail pressure...........or..........this scanner just can't read it?

put in your own tach
amazon has one 20 $

of course its a secret society of auto engineers duh dtc has the word code in it
so trouble figuring out why the title of the video is not secrets of trim values or some such....

Is it okay to try to erase a code while the vehicle is running? If not, what'll happen?

Excellent video for beginner, please keep on making these videos.

Thank you sir. I will know my OBD2 now better! I appreciated the info.

thanks man

Very informative video for me wanting to learn about obd2 scanners.

thx, I'm learning a lot, but not enough yet to fix my 97 camaro from stalling and no code returned. Knowledge is power

Definitely learned a lot, thank you!

Ok...But which side is bank one and which is bank two. Your diagram doesn't not decifer front or rear of engine.

More please

👍🏻

very educative. Thank you regards

Thanks for the very informative tutorial. One question-can you access all live data points while a car is running in idle or do some data points like transmission temp and coolant temp have to be taken while the car is being driven in gear to get accurate reads. Please let me know. Thanks.

This is the video I was looking for and you are good at teaching.

Thank you

Try not to over explain things it confuses people. For example bank 1 and bank 2 example bank 1 on a v8 driver side four cylinder passenger side the other 4 cylinders boom done.

Many of the cheap ones don't read all codes .

Thanks mate very informative

Excellent tutorial! Its helping me to understand Live Data.. Thank you

شكرا جزيلا

Keep em coming

very nice, thanks

Thank you for doing these tutorials. I can read a manual front to back to wind up scratching my head “what did i just read?”. Hearing and “being there with you” is my “plug” in to learning. Just ordered one of these and I’m using it to restore my 2000 Lincoln LS S 3.9L. Thank you again!

Excellent 👌

Yes! more videos please! Waiting on part too

That was super useful to know what it is and the normal range. Like reading my blood test results, no clue what that does but good to know whether it is normal or not 😊

Yes I support the other comments, more how to operate scan tools

I second the first commenter by saying please post more by brother

Make more videos please. This helped me
